We decided to attack the degusation with wine with vigour. I had the vegetarian version, the boy the meat lovers. I can only speak from the vegetarian side of things since I obviously did not taste the meat. Each morsel that I tasted (including but I can't remember all of them), roasted pumpkin with beetroot cubes, pea soup with truffle oil, truffle risotto, spiced chickpeas and apple pie was - beautifully matched with the wine - an almost overwhelming explosion of flavour - sometimes a suprising combination of flavours - a wild party in my mouth. We could not stop praising the food as we waited eagerly for the next course to arrive, when it finished we were sad to leave.

Service: The main waiter that served us was happy to chat about the wine and when I pressed him further with questions or his thoughts he was very knowledgeable. Was not left wanting at any stage. The white gloves are a bit of a laugh.

Ambience: Low light, enough soft furnishings to absorb chatter, colours reflecting from perspex hangings and chilled out beats.

Overall: It certainly wan't a cheap evening. However since we arrived at 7pm and left after 11pm it was more of an experience rather than a mere dinner out. I almost felt like I should have hugged 'our' waiter when we left.
